You can do a stock count using the Zeemart mobile app or the Zeemart Buyer Hub desktop panel. 

  • Tip: We recommend doing stock count when your store is closed so that no items are counted twice, or sold after they have been counted.

iOS, Android

1. Go to Inventory.


2. Check that you are viewing inventory lists for the correct outlet. If you need to switch to another outlet, tap the outlet name at the top of the screen.


3. There are two ways to start a stock count: 

  • Tap the Count button next to the name of the list, or

  • Tap the list name, then tap the Start stock count button at the bottom.

4. Tap the quantity field or use the (-) and (+) buttons to enter the amount of stock you have left for each item.

  • If the item is a Group SKU, you should input the quantity for all the items in the group. Tap the View button to view the items in the group.

5. If you counted items you received on the day (eg. after closing), ensure the "This count includes items received today" toggle is turned ON. This will exclude all incoming stocks for today in the incoming column of the SKU Tab of the Outlet details page in Zeemart Buyer Hub.


6. Once you are ready to save the stock count, tap Save stock count. If you did not count all the items on the list (leaving some fields empty) you can still save the stock count, but you'll need to tap Yes, fill in blank fields & save when prompted and we'll fill these empty fields with 0 upon saving.

Correcting mistakes in a stock count

If you spot a mistake after saving the stock count, you can still correct it. Tap the inventory list on the main Inventory page, then select an item. It'll ask whether you'd like to record an adjustment or edit wrong stock count quantity. Select the second option and input the correct quantity. The quantity will be updated immediately on the inventory list page.


Buyer Hub

1. Click Inventory on the side navigation.

2. Select an outlet.

3. Select New stock count at the top of the page.

4. Select the inventory list to use for the count. If you are counting items you received on the day (eg. after closing), ensure the "This count includes items received today" checkbox is selected. This will exclude all incoming stocks for today in the incoming column of the SKU Tab of the Outlet details page in Zeemart Buyer Hub.

5. Click Start stock count.

6. Enter the amount of stock you have left for each item.

  • If the item is a Group SKU (indicated with a "G" icon next to the name), you should input the quantity for all the items in the group. You can see the list of items contained in it by clicking the "X items" label below the group name.

7. Once you are ready to save the stock count, click the Save button. If you did not count all the items on the list (leaving some fields empty) you can still save the stock count, but you'll need to click Yes, fill in blank fields & save when prompted and we'll fill these empty fields with 0 upon saving.

Correcting mistakes in a stock count

If you spot a mistake after saving the stock count, you can still correct it. Go to the inventory list page, and select Actions > Amend 'last count' quantity next to an item. Input the correct quantity and save. The quantity will be updated immediately on the inventory list page.
